Hi there Domus!

This is my sixth year as a Resident tutor at Eliot! This year, I’m on the Fellowships team and I'm living at Lil' Domus, aka the Prescotts. I have a Ph.D in urban planning and architecture (Harvard GSAS ’19), and a Masters in Design Studies (GSD ’13). My professional/academic focus has been on mental health, global policy, international aid, fragility and conflict. I’ve worked at/on/with the World Bank, UNHCR, and various humanitarian NGOs in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Sahel, etc. I’m currently training as a clinical social worker at the Cambridge Health Allliance, with an emphasis on anti-oppressive psychotherapy. Although technically Canadian, I spent my childhood between Lima, Bamako, Paris, Bangkok and Ottawa, and I always love to connect with other internationally minded folks. Come say hi and reach out with any questions; as a friendly introvert, I can be found in the D-Hall’s quieter corners.

FDDE!
